Generated BIRP Note:

Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided. The therapist can then copy-and-paste the note into their current EHR platform.

Behavior:
Client discussed her ongoing struggles with childhood abuse memories. She stated, "I can’t seem to shake these memories." Client's chief complaint was the persistent impact of these memories on her current functioning.

Intervention:
A 50-minute session was conducted where EMDR was utilized to help the client process traumatic memories.

Response:
Client appeared receptive to the EMDR process and expressed eagerness to see improvements.

Plan:
Client was assigned homework to practice grounding techniques when feeling overwhelmed by past memories. The next session is scheduled for two weeks from today, with a continuation of the EMDR treatment plan.
